Hi Srivijava,
No one knows the origin of suffering. Because there is no one cause of suffering. If you consider a person born with a birth defect, who is responsible for the cause of this suffering?

Hi Bothi,
I suggest that you read up on what Buddha means by "suffering". It's a truth which operates at many levels, you'd be surprised.

Buddha's opinion was only on sentimental basis. Your understanding of Buddha's truths relegates them to this status.

Buddha's teachings are not as precise as you think. I investigate Buddha's teachings and don't 'believe' anything just because it's in a sutta. You can only gain an appreciation for the precision of the teachings if you have insight which follows careful investigation / meditation.
